2 barrel to 4 barrel

Again, I watch some of Ben. You may consider him a god. I do not.

You say that *** duration and *** lift is what’s acceptable. To who? You?

I get it. You love to listen to other people and broadcast what they say, rather than actually going out and building engines.

I mean 220 at .050? That’s the size of the cam I used for my buddy’s 289 way back in 1989.

He got that because as cars go, he’s as soft as they come. He exhibits all the same unwarranted fears as some of the guys do on here.

Your building philosophy is bubble gummer nonsense.

Thank God you don’t build performance engines because you *** would be broke.

Edit: as an example, Ben’s ideas on gear drives are 100% dead wrong. So is his ideas of spark plugs and spark plug reading.

Of course, you must not watch him when he talks about building higher than orthodox compression ratios because anything over 9:1 and you start wetting your pants.

Selective knowledge isn’t a bragging point.

Dan is a young guy and most likely on a tight budget looking for a decent running street car he can enjoy. That is where my recommendation comes from. The race car can come later.
I take information from a bunch of sources and look for some common ground and what seems to make sense. Not everyone agrees, even experienced engine builders. This is where we have to be like a cattle farmer. They do not go to the field and cut the brush that comes up in a hay field. They do not pick through the hay after cutting and before baleing either. When they take a bale out to feed the cattle they do not pick through to get the sticks out. They trust the cattle to be smart enough to eat the hay and spit the sticks out. We have to be at least as smart as the cattle, to pick the valueable stuff out and toss what we find not useful aside.
